N97 mini is just like its name, a more compact version of its big brother the Nokia flagship N97. As a whole, the device is exactly the same as the previous which is with the tilting mechanism of the display, but only a bit smaller. There is purely cosmetic to the design though, the most significant one seemingly being the lack of both a sliding camera cover and a D-pad on the QWERTY keyboard. Let’s have a closer look on it.
What’s inside? Beside the phone, you get a battery, a stereo headset, a travel charger, a data cable, an external stylus, CD and user’s guide.
The 3.2” touchscreen is dominating the front of the phone, leaving only the call, end call and menu buttons lying on the edge. It is just the mini version of N97 which got 3.5” touchscreen.
At the top, we have the 3.5mm audio jack (in the same location of N97) and the power key is just next to it.
The left side hosts the stereo speakers at each end and the microUSB slot and the screen lock knob in the middle. There is no protective cover for the USB slot and the screen lock triggers a mild vibration every time it is engaged.
The camera key and the volume rocker are on the right.
The Nokia N97 Mini is shorter and more “pocket friendly” than the Nokia N97. And the accelerator is very responsive. When you slide open the phone, the screen changes to horizontal view immediately.
The keys are same size as the N97. And the only different is N97 mini has removed the D-pod on the Keyboard.
N97 mini is more “top-notch” than the Nokia N97 mainly due to the quantity of metal on the exterior. And it is designed in Finland.
The backside of the handset features the 5MP camera and the dual LED flash. The back cover is made of stainless steel which feels sturdy and expensive. However, it missed the protective cover of the camera. Not a big deal though.
N97 mini packs 8GB memory and can also be expanded a further 16GB by MicroSD.
The upper one is N97 and the N97 mini is at the bottom. They look exactly the same. Actually, N97 mini is slightly smaller in measurement.
N97 mini (which is measured 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm) is a bit thinner than N97 (which is measured 117.2 x 55.3 x 18.3 mm).
Many applications onboard such as Youtube, Facebook etc. You can also explore a dazzling array of downloads from Ovi Store and customized your own menu.
The audio quality of N97 mini is great because of two stereo speakers at the bottom of the phone. And the video is run quite smooth without hitch.
Actually, N97 mini is not only the things on N97, but a bit more than that. It packs most of the features in N97 and adds some more improvement to it: Becomes more fashionable with upgrading the stainless steel cover to replace the plastic cover, slightly smaller and slimmer overall.
